I hope you are doing great. I’ve been busy making some changes here at home and upcycling some furniture which I hope to be able to show you soon. At the same time, we were invited to a birthday party, it was a close friend from Little S so we had to think what to make for him as a gift. We had several ideas but we all agreed on a string art name because it is cool and quite fast to do it. Do you remember the string art we made for Felix? We wanted to do a twist on this one.

I took a look at my endless scrap wood pile and found this

I filled the hole with wood filler, and once dry the girls painted it. We chose yellow for the base because Noah, the friend, told us he loved yellow and black.

Then I designed the name, printed it and taped the papers on the wood to prevent them from moving.

Now the fun began! I started to nail everything in place evenly until I did all the letters.

Then I took the papers out and started to wrap the thread around the nails until it was looking good and wasn’t any gap.

I love how it looks with capital letters too!

Thanks for stopping by and remember if you want to see some other projects you will find them at the Gallery.

Hugs,

Pili

Hi, Kery! I can’t tell you how long it takes from the beginning up to the end because with little girls it is impossible to do it without being asked million times zillions of different things… but each letter took me around 30 minutes. Anyway, the more I practice the faster I get 🙂

Pili, I love it! It’s a personal and special gift and looks lovely! How cool that string art, I’ve got to try it eventually! I like gifts like these, because many times you don’t know what to give a child and I personally prefer this over a toy!
